I'm after your help. I have submitted a photograph to a call for artists. The brief was simply The Art of Doing Nothing
Here is where the title took me.....
For the majority of us, a satisfied life consists of constant deadlines, constraints, rules, boundaries and a general acceptance that life, sometimes isn't fair. However we choose to live our lives, we must take time to breath and appreciate what we have and focus on the positive. We must teach this to our children.
I was Inspired by a quote I was given on a 21st birthday card, in 1993
" As you walk through the garden of life, don't forget to stop and smell the roses"
I have since lived by that advice.
However, I need support, would you please follow the link and support me either via Facebook or Twitter......

I Left Here
1984 had the biggest impact on my life. I moved from Liverpool to Essex aged nearly thirteen and I didn't want to. I have begun to remember the things that surrounded me in my bedroom in what I now think of as a kind of protective bubble.

Ok, so I've been gone for a really long time, but I've been really busy with my end of year show for the past eight months!
Here's some of what I've been up to......What If?
For the majority of us, a satisfied life consists of constant deadlines, constraints, rules, boundaries and a general acceptance that life, sometimes isn't fair.
For some, those boundaries are crossed and broken rules are inflicted upon them.

Me a mini-making Mum...

Hello, I am first & foremost a full time mum of three gorgeous children, in my spare time (as if) I am a polymer clay artist & miniaturist. My work is created in bursts of ten minutes at a time in between my other jobs! I love being creative & encouraging others to create & actively encourage handmade!From September 2011, I will be studying for my art degree too! I have so many ideas waiting to burst out of me & this blog is to enable me to share those thoughts & give me somewhere to record them.....
